Seattle Art Museum

Hello,

I recently took an Art history class and ever since I have been longing to go to SAM and see their collections. I snatched that opportunity in the beginning of this month.
SAM has the first Thursday of every month free entrance. This is a great opportunity for students to go see the arts.

SAM is located in downtown Seattle and couple hours is enough to see their collection.

They are having another great exhibition on Rembrandt and Goya. Rembrandt is most famous of his painting The Anatomy lesson of Dr. Tulp and Goya for his Thrid of May 1808.


I highly recommend checking the museum out it is such a beautiful experience.

Summer readings

Hi,

I am the person who pushes all the readings to summer time. First, I do not have text books to learn and second I can read about the subjects that interest me through out the school year. Some of the books that I plan on reading this summer are

I know it is just three but I am also studying for my GRE this summer.  Yes I am thinking about graduate school. 

If you have a read a great book, please recommend. 

Classes and Projects

This year I took some interesting classes and completed group projects. I dreaded group projects but this year I had awesome team members with whom I enjoyed working. For the first time I felt the collective effort was higher than single persons, I felt the synergy! 

Besides that, the classes I took were

Econ 382: It is an econometrics class where my team did a research project on public Golf courses of Seattle and their winter fees. 

I learnt a great deal in this class and ended up liking the software Eviews we used for data analysis. 

Econ 472: International Macro-economics

It was an interesting class where I learnt a great deal about international trade and foreign exchange. Our professor also made us read The Wall Street Journal article, which helped me apply my theoretical economics knowledge towards the events happening in the world. 

The final presentation of this class was about crisis in various countries. I choose the Argentina 2014 crisis. We had to collect data and analyze their crisis using the Mundell–Fleming model.  (I also learnt that if a country has extremely high nominal interest rate, something might be fishy!)

I also found a saying: "Economicst: They do it with models." Funny yet true!

What have I been up to?

Greetings!

So, I was gone for a long. 2015 was such a roller coster for me. I had some of the best time and the worst. Made new friends and travelled.
I recently completed my junior year and now on my summer break. I do not have a particular plan for summer yet however I am going on a study abroad to Bangkok for a semester. (yes, I am nervous)

I am going to be blogging while am studying abroad as well.

I will miss my dear Seattle!
